Jan 22 2008Jerry O'Connell obtains Internet relevancy
Jerry O'Connell and the guys at FunnyOrDie.com spoof the Tom Cruise Scientology videos that hit the web last week. I don't know what's more surprising: The hilarious spot-on impression or Jerry O'Connell starring in something I'd openly recommend to people.

Didn't they do a movie together? That's kinda shitty of an old co-worker to do ... but I still laughed my ass off 'cause this is the funniest shit I've seen in the past ten minutes!
11. LJ - January 22, 2008 5:38 PM
I think this is funnier to me just for the simple fact that he was in Jerry Mcquire with Tom Cruise. Beat that ass O'Connell.
12. Real Chad - January 22, 2008 5:41 PM
Hilarious!!! I only watched only 45 seconds...hey, I'm busy...but I laughed my ass off! LOL! Jerry O'Connell will never work in Hollywood again...that is if Supreme Warlord Cruise has anything to do about it.

15. prideofchucky - January 22, 2008 5:52 PM

"LOS ANGELES - AP - The Church of Scientology released a statement today that the organization is declaring 'Jihad' on actor Jerry O'Connell for his spoof of a videotape featuring internationally-reknowned movie star and Scientologist Tom Cruise that was accidentally leaked onto the internet earlier this month. Church leaders report that, 'L. Ron Hubbard has communicated to us from beyond the grave that Mr. O'Connell must pay for his mockery of our faith and most prominent member. All true Scientologists must consider it their primary mission to bring suffering into Mr. O'Connell's current life and all of his future lives. Federal, state and local laws should not be taken into consideration. We don't need to ask permission. We are the authorities.'
"When asked to comment on the press release, Mr. O'Connell's response was a stunned, 'What the fuck?'"

sam, i hate to break this to you but i signed up over at nudistconnect.com and i'm a black gay jew eskimo.
19. Brandnsgrl - January 22, 2008 6:32 PM
This is hilarious!! Great job Jerry! Nice to see someone not afraid of Tom or his wacky church.
20. sam - January 22, 2008 6:35 PM
mr p0nk, you are so kooky and very funny guy for minority person. but nudistconnect.com prescreen everyone. there is no error room. i' sure you mean sister site blackgayjeweskimonudist.com, they prescreen too. so sexy!
21. The Dove - January 22, 2008 6:44 PM
I prefer to think of this as a sliders episode where Quinn's double is an insane scientologist.
22. Superman - January 22, 2008 6:51 PM
THis is Fucking hilarious... MUAHHAHAHAHAHAH
23. Jay - January 22, 2008 7:21 PM
Very well played!

"the aristocrats" haha i love it!
25. meanmofo - January 22, 2008 7:46 PM
Although Tom Cruise is nuttier than squirrel shit he still has a lot of power in Hollywood. Me thinks this niggas career is over!
Oh and FIRST BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
26. Mae West - January 22, 2008 7:50 PM
HAHAHAHA!!!! That's priceless, he deadpans ScientoloTom SOOO well, and the hysterical laughing is spot-on! heee haaawwww
27. H.A.L.9000 - January 22, 2008 7:57 PM
Hilarious!
Did he mean "The AristoCats"
'cause that would be even fuckin funnier
Jerry played Vern in Stand By Me and not Lardass
28. RIP Heath - January 22, 2008 7:57 PM
Nobody can make a real parody of Tom Cruise's behaviour or even imitate him, because he's so far over the borders of batshit that there's simply nothing to compare the craziness with.
29. RIP - January 22, 2008 7:58 PM
The original is still 2000000x more batshit than this. Normal people can't even begin to imitate Tom Cruise, he's just crazier than anything imaginable.
30. selective - January 22, 2008 8:15 PM
The Aristocrats!!! For the win!
31. Dr. Disgusto - January 22, 2008 8:46 PM
Oh my god - that's actually kind of funny. I can't believe it. I agree with the above comment though - the original is even nuttier. I mean, I like Tom Cruise's movies ... they're entertaining and all that. But the guy is flat out full bore Margot-Kidder-in-a-Woodpile Crazy.

36. Mandy - January 22, 2008 9:20 PM

37. syn13 - January 22, 2008 9:21 PM
Effing hilarious. Do you think he'll be assassinated by Scientology for this?
38. notjerry - January 22, 2008 9:22 PM
Genius.
39. ilovesleaterkinney - January 22, 2008 9:47 PM
unbelievable. i should have always believed in the big J. stand by me was brilliant. this guy worked with river phoenix! give this guy a job doing more of this.
40. Xenu Approves! - January 22, 2008 9:48 PM
I am Xenu, the great galactic leader of the Milky Way! And I applaud this puny human's efforts to smear the bastard scientologists who smear my good name!
Soon I will return to Earth aboard my DC-8 space plane, and on that day all of L Ron's insane followers will PAY for smearing my name!
Learn the truth about me, Xenu! http://www.xenu.net/

Ha! Brilliant!
45. Narcissist Wishes He Knew How To Quit Christina Milian - January 22, 2008 11:05 PM
This is the role he'll be remembered for. Truly a luminary.
It's about right, though. Cruise act's like a mentally ill used-car hustler.
@37 Hope they leave him alone. Wish they'd all die.
46. pucky - January 22, 2008 11:43 PM
This was honestly one of the funniest damn things I've seen in a while. Go Jerry!
Do a Sliders TV movie! Hell, they're bringing back Knight Rider.
47. er0s - January 23, 2008 12:26 AM
Jerry O'Connell is a tool. The sad part is even this douche knows he has no career to risk in doing this video. I mean let's face it, he's what's her face's bitch and she's the old leftovers from the guy who used to be on Full House. Sad.
48. FreeJose - January 23, 2008 12:31 AM
Outstanding! Bravo!
49. Janel - January 23, 2008 12:45 AM
Wow does he have to sound like a complete fucking asshole.

52. The Powermuff girls - January 23, 2008 1:21 AM
me thinks the asshole is HE who posts twice Manel #49, #50,# 51
Jerry O'Conell has always been HILARIOUS (if you've seen any of his interviews) people just assume actors are the characters they play. Like Bob Saget who was on Full House is actually a crazy comic who constantly got in trouble for his sense of humour on the set (he would say " I want to put a shoebox on my lap and give you a pupet show" to yummy women.. see Timberlake you did NOT invent that). Point is how many of you assumed Bob Sagget was just like his character. Also Jerry O'connell's wife's Rebecca's ex John Stamos is actually best friends with South Park creator Trey Parker (who would have guessed that). A lot of people you consider lame because of their careers and cheesy roles are actually the funniest most interesting people and often hang with the known coolest talents. Getting good roles is like getting good grades in school in many ways it doesn't say a whole fucking lot about who a person really is.
53. The Powermuff girls - January 23, 2008 1:23 AM

This is the Aristocrats Movie Tom/Jerry referred to.
54. The Powermuff girls - January 23, 2008 1:30 AM
I meant HE who posts the same comment THRICE.
MEMO: You are not in a Staples commercial the POST YOUR COMMENT button is not the EASY button so unless you are an ADD child who has been given too much candy and is used to getting away with constantly hitting elevator buttons, handicap door buttons and Mommy and Daddy's patience button please hit the comment button only once (1). Thank You.
55. lilkutie - January 23, 2008 2:36 AM
Jerry O'Connell, you are my new hero!
56. groonk - January 23, 2008 3:06 AM
"I don't know what's more surprising: The hilarious spot-on impression or Jerry O'Connell starring in something I'd openly recommend to people."
i'm right there with you, pal.
the video's priceless, yet he's still kind of a douche.
57. Stay - January 23, 2008 3:57 AM
Haha, pretty good.
It's nice to see ol' Jerry again. He seems like a fun dude, and I still give him props for his work on Sliders (before it jumped the shark, anyway).
58. Mr.Poon - January 23, 2008 7:01 AM
"Jerry O'Connell was last seen in the company of a zombie -like short haired (bobbed) woman in a trench coat. His body was later found naked face down in the desert. Police are currently seeking a suspect known only as K.H."
59. lg - January 23, 2008 7:24 AM
This is good shit.
60. Fred Durst - January 23, 2008 7:53 AM
hey, isn't the background music of both videos from a limp bizkit song? I mean like maybe, Take A Look Around?
61. Erik - January 23, 2008 7:54 AM
It was about 90 seconds too long.
62. RCA - January 23, 2008 8:57 AM
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
63. b - January 23, 2008 9:33 AM
Fucking FUNNY! OMG, he is going to end up dead in the desert.
I have yet to meet a Scientologist with a sense of humor.
64. Jaffo - January 23, 2008 9:33 AM
Man that is funny shit. I assume he lives in a bunker so that he is safe from the alien 747s and so forth...
65. smoothy - January 23, 2008 9:33 AM
i love it --crazy laughter
t.c is a brainwashed monkey

He will be assimilated or alll of Teeageack will feast on his entrails. One or the other or maybe not.
67. Alex - January 23, 2008 10:14 AM
Love this.
#19 agree, good to see someone standing up to Hollywood bigwig Tom Cruise and Scientology.
This is by far the best bit of acting I've seen for years...
Oscars anyone??!!
Lol go Jerry!
68. lindaconstantino - January 23, 2008 10:20 AM
weird
69. roy g biv - January 23, 2008 10:21 AM
He even gets the crazy eyes right. Extra points for the maniacal laughter. Well done! [begins slow clap]
70. Emmy - January 23, 2008 10:26 AM
haha the laughter was perfect but it's not as good as Kangaroo Jack
71. comeon - January 23, 2008 10:41 AM
He is a cuttie. But not his fan. I saw his profile on millionaire dating site W e a l t h yR o m a n c e.c o m where Charlie Sheen found his new match last March. Is he single now? Just curious
72. loveCruise - January 23, 2008 11:25 AM
I love you Cruise. Your fan,do you know?My friends ask me" why you love Tom Cruise?" No reason, just love you! I'm a curvacious sexy woman looking for someone to start a relationship with. I'm 5'4'' and have curves to die for. I'm career oriented, love helping people ... Choose me now! You just join this good place bbwconnect.com, and then you can find me by username sexylily3435.
73. Aly - January 23, 2008 11:46 AM
I've always liked Jerry O'Connell.........now? I LOVE him! This was hilarious!
74. missywissy - January 23, 2008 12:02 PM
How is Jerry's career over??? This was pretty damn comical to me. Tom Cruise only thinks he's God. There is no way he has the power to shut down somebody's career. Tom is only human, folks. I think if anybody's career is shut down it's his own. Maybe Steven Speilberg will throw him a bone. Or get smart and hire Jerry.

Hey comeon:
Hi there, I'm a loser with no life. I'm paid $3.50 per hour to post idiotic drivel, directing you to some lame dating website that takes your money and gives you nothing in return. I have no job, so I sit around all day and post this garbage on as many websites as I can under many different aliases. I don't have any friends, so I must rely on these moronic posts to make myself feel better about myself. My mother hates me and dropped me on my head as a child.

78. redsonja1313 - January 23, 2008 1:08 PM
F*****ING BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HIM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and even if his career is over he still goes home to Rebecca everynight so again I think he gets the last laugh !!! Plus he was in Stand By Me one of the best films EVER !!!
79. Frank Lucas' Bitch - January 23, 2008 2:04 PM
Oh my God, it's so fucking funny. Especially the first minute, oh wow. That laugh...hahahaha. I really needed to laugh after Heath Ledger tragedy.
RIP Heath.
80. Ki - January 23, 2008 2:50 PM
GREAT!!!
81. mmmhmmm - January 23, 2008 3:12 PM
it was funny for 40 seconds
this went on too damn long.
82. Shallow Val - January 23, 2008 3:25 PM
always liked jerry o'connell, and now i have another reason. Nice to be reminded how funny he is.
Now, he's gonna turn up face down in a ditch with a copy of Dianetics sticking out of his skull.
83. Madman - January 23, 2008 6:50 PM
ROTFLMAO!
Great send-up of Tom Cruise. Scientology is a just a minor cult, especially when compared to Islam. See my URL.
84. dyl - January 23, 2008 8:31 PM
The more people that speak out against this stupid "church" the less they will be able to "go after" them.
It used to be only a few strong brave ones. Now we must all unite and take Tom down!
85. Miss Tiff - January 24, 2008 2:42 AM
I normally cannot stand Jerry at all, but this was pretty damn funny. A little long, but funny.
86. Lisa - January 24, 2008 6:14 PM
Jerry man damn that was HIGHlarious!!!
You're gonna need that secret identity back though before the Cruise missile finds ya!
Thanks for posting this...I need a good honest laff!
Jerry O'Connell grew up well....well, yummy!
